The Chamber Foundation Main Street Lehigh Valley provides support to communities for beautification projects. During the pandemic we were able to quickly get help to small businesses that were forced to close. Over the last 15 years, we have proudly given over $1 million directly back to the community. Over $500,000 has been invested in community development projects such as outdoor lighting, seating, murals. Another $353,000 was given to small businesses during the onset of covid, and an addiitonal $150,000 was provided to restaurants that were forced to close over the holidays. Additionally, the Chamber Foundation is able to apply for grants to help with tourism, community development and scholarships across the Lehigh Valley.
